    Food: 4/5 Coffee: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Rosemonts Cafe is a really solid neighborhood café and one of my go-to spots in this corner of Bird Rock, especially when I want space to linger. I love that they have tons of seating, a full menu, and parking available. ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 There's lots of seating both indoors and outdoors, and despite packing in a good amount of tables, the space never feels cramped. It's a great option for a coffee date, working while snacking, or just hanging out for a while. The layout makes it easy to settle in without feeling rushed. SERVICE: 4/5 Service is reasonably friendly and polite. My only complaint is that a couple of times I've gone they've seemed short-staffed - not at all the fault of the employees, just something to be aware of if you walk in and don't immediately see or get greeted by anyone. COFFEE: 3.5/5 They have a lot of coffee options on the menu, which is a big plus. So far I've tried the Macadamia Nut Latte (iced, oat milk): 3.5/5 and the Vanilla Latte (iced, oat milk): 4/5. The macadamia nut latte wasn't terribly flavorful, so I probably wouldn't order it again, but if you prefer a latte that isn't sweet, this could actually be perfect for you. The vanilla latte was pretty standard; nothing to write home about, but no real complaints either. I'd happily order it again, especially if I was also grabbing food or planning to sit and work for a bit. FOOD: 4/5 They have a very extensive food menu, which is a big plus. Lots of options across bagels, pastries, toasts, and sandwiches - both savory and sweet. I ordered the Turkey Sandwich, which was tasty and fresh, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the amount of meat. If you're expecting a classic, stacked deli sandwich, you might be disappointed. That said, the flavor and overall quality were still very good. I also love that this spot opens fairly early. If I'm meeting someone for coffee and conversation in this part of Bird Rock, this is usually my first choice.

    Cute little staff with great drinks, treats, and fabulous staff. Listened to what I like, answered my dumb questions, and then made me the PERFECT drink. The chocolate croissant was delicious too!

    These sandwiches are so delicious. I was a little skeptical because I like my bread a certain way but I was happily surprised. I will definitely replace the cheese with mozzerella next time like my friend did, it was perfection.

    Banana Peanut Butter Toast
    Jack M.

    I like the Rosemonts Cafe. I had a peanut butter and banana toast dressed with honey, crushed peanuts, cinnamon, and cacao chips on sourdough toast for $9. I really liked that they put a good toast on the sourdough. They put a good amount to tasty peanut butter, a lot of sliced bananas, and a handsome of amount of crushed peanuts and cacao chips. The addition of the cinnamon and honey brought this toast together nice. Best of all, they give you two slices! Service was very friendly, and they offer inside and outside seating. I originally came in for some with eggs on it for breakfast. Hopefully they find a way to include breakfast sandwiches in the future. It is a "cafe." Cool spot for coffee and breakfast and lunch.

    We walked about 5 minutes from our AirBnB for a sandwich, and we got two of the freshest Sammie creations! The bread was soft and obviously made today. And it was loaded with all of the freshest ingredients. This is a woman owned business and their service was exceptional. The portions were huge. And we were grateful because after a crazy travel day we were starving!

    Great neighborhood spot! Everyone's super friendly and inviting. I've had lattes, matcha lattes and pastries and they've all been delicious.

    This is a new locally owned cafe that has opened in the Windansea neighborhood of La Jolla. The location has no on-site parking so you have to hunt for one of the precious curbside spots on the side streets. The inside of the suite was neatly decorated and had enough seating for about two dozen customers. Pastries, fancy toasts, coffee, sandwiches, and charcuterie boards were the main categories listed on large menu boards hanging on the wall behind the service counter. The lady owner was very pleasant and ran the register during my visit. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich made up of black forest ham, gruyere, romaine, tomato, mayo, and honey mustard on thick slices of sourdough bread. A worker who assembled the item brought it to my table. The sandwich was cut into two halves with each having a good ratio of meat to bread. The hard swiss cheese provided a creamy texture to contrast the ham. I enjoyed a quiet lunch at Rosemonts Cafe and gave the experience a four star rating.

    Pastries and coffee
    Sally M.

    They had me at VG's donuts! My husband and I were looking for something quick to pick up nearby while walking our dog and I noticed that Rosemonts had donuts, so stopped in. They have a small display of donuts, pastries, and muffins that you can select from (they will take it out of the display for you), along with fancy toasts, sandwiches, and of course coffee and non-coffee drinks. I got a couple donuts, a danish, and a chai latte to go. The chai latte was delicious as were the donuts and danish. Service was very friendly and pretty quick. There were a handful of customers dining in and they all seemed to be enjoying their food and drinks. They have a few tables outside as well. I'll definitely be back to try their fancy toasts and sandwiches. They do have a rewards program (through Toast) and you can sign up when you pay with your credit card. I also confirmed that I could call ahead to place an order. Free wi-fi; street parking only.

    Are the cinnamon rolls from VG's or house made?

    Hi! We actually get our cinnamon rolls and the rest of our pastries fresh daily from The French Gourmet in PB. Unfortunately VG does not deliver so we no longer get our pastries from them. Cinn Rolls are my personal favorite and the ones from FG are…

Next time I come I want to try the coffee, because it looks to be their forte. Love the Colombian trip wall con una mascota preciosa. Also got a gluten free muffin, looked rough on the outside, but absolutely delish once unwrapped. Flavor was blueberry, and it was filled with them. The muffin was moist and not grainy like some gluten free ones can be. Not overly sweet, but still with plenty of berry deliciousness. All in all a wonderful stop with enough character to cameo in a 90's rom com.

I ordered a few drinks for my friends and me to try since it was our first time here, and we were heading to the beach after. They hand-whisk their matcha for each drink, which I really appreciate because most matcha spots in San Diego pre-make theirs. I got the regular matcha latte. I assumed it would already be sweetened, but it wasn't, which wasn't a big deal for me since I prefer little to no sweetness. It was still really good: perfect consistency, and you can definitely taste the matcha. My cousin got the matcha cream top (similar to a matcha einspänner), and I loved their vanilla bean syrup(?) that was included in the drink. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. My friends also tried the orange latte, and they were pleasantly surprised by the cream on top. The orange flavor was noticeable but still subtle, and the coffee itself was strong. The syrups balanced everything out nicely. Definitely would come back again!

Unfortunately, my fried chicken and biscuits were way too salty and I struggled to taste any hot honey. It just tasted like watered down tobasco sauce, which was disappointing! My boyfriend said he loved his fried chicken and waffles. He also thought my chicken wasn't too salty, but I felt it was for me personally. So I guess it might be a preference thing. Overall, we had a good experience there. I would give them another shot and maybe try something else next time!
